This small, steel-headed hammer contains a flat surface side and a rounded side and is used for flattening or indenting wire.

The Beadalon chasing hammer is a great tool to use for flattening soft-tempered wires by using the flat surface side. Or, the round head can be used for creating a popular hammered wire look by making indentations in wire and metal. The wooden handle provides a secure grip. Use with the Beadalon Anvil.

Usage example:

A chasing hammer has many jewelry uses. For example, if you are making your own earring findings, you can use a chasing hammer and anvil to flatten and harden the wire component that goes through the ear. The smooth face of the chasing hammer serves this purpose well.

I bought this because my larger sized one (that I loved) broke its handle. This is a great price, so I took the chance and bought it. I love this one even more than I loved my old one. It is really light so I can hammer for a long time. It will flare my metals just as well as the more expensive ones and the head is smaller so I can control what I am hammering a lot better. Definitely would buy this one again!

I bought this to replace the one I already had, that the head falls off of. This one is nice because the head is screwed on. Very secure. I did have an issue with the chrome plating coming off, but that doesn't affect the performance.

Chasing Hammer

I'm so happy to have this hammer, I wish I had ordered it a long time ago. I've been using my husbands and there is no comparison. This hammer has a great feel and makes it much easier to get the desired results.
